I'm assuming those numbers are percentages and not total voters.;)
You just never know what Fox might try.

Well, you can't say they're not fair and balanced. ;)

are you trying to start WWIII here :laugh:

Seriously, I think national polls are for the most part and outside of any momentum gained in the voting populace by them are somewhat meaningless because as of now all indicators suggest four or five states will determine this election. So, polls in those states seemingly are what count IMO.

The Race Heats Up
In a new Newsweek poll, Kerry moves ahead of George Bush as Americans grown increasingly concerned about the war in Iraq

After weeks of increasingly violent news from Iraq, presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts now leads the president in a two-way trial heat by seven points (50 percent to 43 percent), according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll.

Even after adding independent candidate Ralph Nader to the hypothetical race, Kerry enjoys a four-point lead (46 percent to 42 percent), with Nader drawing 4 percent of the vote.

Meanwhile, just 36 percent of those polled say they are satisfied with "the way things are going in this country." More than half (59 percent) say they are dissatisfied. And while President George W. Bush’s job approval rating remains steady at 49 percent, where it has been since the end of January, the president's favorability ratings are lower than they’ve ever been. Forty-eight percent of those polled view Bush favorably, down four points over last month. Kerry’s ratings remain unchanged at 51 percent favorable.
